The series is set in 1930's Shanghai and deals mainly with the story of Shin Jung-tae who begins as a raw fighter but over time has to hone all his skills to protect his fellow Koreans living there. It starts reasonably slow but soon builds into constant conflict as he has to battle various countries factions as well as gangsters. It has an excellent cast who all do a sterling job and the story only occasionally stalls. Plenty of well choreographed fight scenes which you do have to suspend belief with as a man beats 20 swordsman with his fists. Don't take it too seriously and enjoy the ride of friendship love and patriotism.

A college drama based on a webtoon where rich and poor students all have issues and struggle to resolve them as individuals and as groups. It is a gentle drama where we see romance but the main core of the story is a bromance. The acting is ok but I did not connect with any of the lead characters and was more interested in some of the minor characters who's stories we did not see.

A Ronin wanders the countryside looking for work after he is thrown out of his clan for gambling on himself in a fight. He is an honest and upright person though and often through his naivety or good heart encounters trouble wherever he goes. Luckily for him he is accompanied by his loving and understanding wife who gives him unwavering support until they can return to be with their son. It is a gentle enjoyable series with heartwarming stories each episode so an enjoyable watch, even if a little repetitive.
